Day 7: Now I know why my parents didn't want me to do this.

Kicking off with a throwback to a spec-fic short story I wrote pre-pandemic! When a surly techie brings her intern along to investigate a mass drone harassment incident in near-future Singapore, she doesn’t expect the fashion-conscious Gen-Z-er will be able to help… Read “Celebrity” in link in bio.
